About Seyma
Seyma Gungor works from a person-centred and attachment-based approach. She combines practical strategies with conversational therapy to help parents and individuals manage stress, anxiety and family tensions. Seyma aims to make sessions feel calm and approachable so people can focus on changes that matter to daily life.
Seyma holds a BACP credential, and she has five years of professional experience offering psychotherapy in the United Kingdom. She has worked with people facing depression, trauma, addictions and mood concerns.
Background and approach
Her background includes supporting those dealing with grief, relationship strain and difficulties linked to attention differences. In sessions she blends Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotionally-Focused and attachment-based ideas. That means she helps clients notice thoughts and patterns, understand emotional responses, and repair connection in close relationships.
She uses straightforward exercises and reflective conversation rather than technical jargon. Seyma also draws on existential and mindfulness perspectives when helpful. These approaches can help people consider values, find meaning in change, and build practical ways to cope with upsetting feelings.
She adapts the pace and focus to each person's situation. She offers therapy in English and Turkish and accepts international clients. Sessions are available by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.
To begin, a prospective client completes an online matching questionnaire and then arranges sessions according to the therapist's schedule.

How attachment, client-centred and CBT work online
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns of relating and emotional connection. Online sessions can help people notice how those patterns show up in parenting and close relationships, and then practise different ways of responding to others.Client-centred or person-centred therapy puts the client's needs and perspective at the centre. The therapist listens closely, reflects feelings and helps people find their own solutions. This approach supports parents who want a non-judgemental space to talk through difficult moments and decisions.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours that maintain stress and anxiety. In practical online sessions, the therapist and client identify unhelpful thinking, try short home exercises and track small changes over time to improve sleep, worry or mood.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels workable, then together they pick methods that fit the person's life. That collaboration means the plan can change as needs shift.
Online therapy offers flexibility and a range of formats - video calls when face-to-face feel important, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for shorter check-ins, or text messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep continuity during busy family routines and to fit therapy into everyday life.
